VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2022 / Siyata Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:SYTA)(NASDAQ:SYTAW) ("Siyata" or the "Company"), a global vendor of Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices and cellular signal booster systems, announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
"We delivered on our plans to continue building our channel infrastructure during the second quarter, achieving multiple significant wins that we believe set the stage for fast and broad customer adoption of our game changing SD7 device and accessories in the quarters ahead," said Marc Seelenfreund, Founder and CEO of Siyata. "This foundation of increased distribution is directly leading to many potential significant opportunities that are expected to drive meaningful volume growth in an increasing number of verticals beyond our primary first responders focus, including: government, school districts, utilities, security, retail, amusement parks and hotel resorts, to name but a few. We believe our broad and innovative product portfolio, combined with our North American and international distribution relationships will allow us to achieve strong growth from Q3 2022 and beyond"
"I am also pleased to report our recent attendance at APCO International (Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials) confirms the explosive interest in our products from multiple carriers, distributors, enterprise and government customers," continued Seelenfreund. "This was another exceptional show for us with interest in our products stronger than we have ever seen."
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were $969,528 compared to $356,979 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase of $612,549, up 172% over the prior year period, was mainly due to the increase in the sale of rugged devices including the SD7 rugged handset in the second quarter of 2022.
- Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $108,673 (11.2% of sales) compared to a negative $466,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an improvement in gross margin dollars of $574,992. Gross margin in the quarter was negatively impacted by low margin sales of legacy product in EMEA (or Europe/Middle East/Africa), which was offset by higher-margin sales of SD7 rugged handset.
- For the three months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted EBITDA was negative ($3,356,261) versus negative ($4,607,747) in the prior year period, an improvement of $1,251,486. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the net operating loss excluding depreciation and amortization, intangible impairment, goodwill impairment, and share-based compensation expense.
- The Company experienced a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of ($4,304,088) as compared to a net loss of ($10,862,538) in the prior year period, an improvement of $6,558,450. This positive variance was due mainly to one-time intangible impairment charge of $4,322,799 in the year ago period.
- As at June 30, 2022 the Company had a cash balance $4,054,420 (Dec 31, 2021, $1,619,742) and working capital of $4,208,484 (December 31, 2021, negative $668,973).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $1,802,502 compared to $4,388,954 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This negative variance of $2,586,452 (59%) is due mainly to the decrease in the sale of one of our product categories period over period of $1,654,000 related to the 2021 one time sale to a large customer that did not recur in 2022 and a $932,000 decrease in sales due to the transition from the legacy rugged handsets to the new suite of rugged handset products that only began selling in May 2022.
- Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $363,724 (20.2% of sales) compared to $1,273,772 (29.0% of sales) in the same period in 2021, a negative variance in gross margin dollars of $910,048. The gross margin shift is due to the high margin one time sale to a large customer in 2021 and the sale of legacy products at reduced margins in 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA is negative ($5,985,634) versus negative ($4,899,093) in the same period in the prior year, a negative variance of $1,086,541. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the net operating loss excluding depreciation and amortization, intangible impairment, goodwill impairment and share-based compensation expense.
- The Company experienced a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of ($8,182,997) as compared to a net loss of ($12,977,944) in the same period in the prior year, a positive variance of $4,794,9475. This positive variance was due mainly to, a one-time decrease in intangible impairment of $4,322,799 in the year ago period.
Restatement of Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
On August 15, 2022, the management and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company determined that the Company's condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form 6-K on May 17, 2022 (the "Prior Period Financial Statements"), should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the accounting treatment for the classification of the Company's warrants (the "Warrants") as equity rather than as a derivative liability. In addition, investors should no longer rely upon any communications relating to those condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements. The Company has corrected this matter and has filed with the SEC its restated condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and its restated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition for the three months ended March 31, 2022 on a Form 6-K. The accounting change was carried forward in the Company's unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Outlook
Siyata has laid the foundation for greater distribution with expanded distributor relationships and expanded its product offerings in all three of its product categories into North America. The Company is seeing strong sales momentum from Q3 2022 and is hopeful that this momentum will continue, in particular, as it leverages its new key sales channels.
Rugged Handsets | Siyata's rugged handsets are targeted to the approximately 47 million enterprise task and public sector workers across North America including construction, transport and logistics, manufacturing, energy and utility, public safety, and federal government. To date, Siyata has sold its rugged handsets only in international markets. Siyata expanded its footprint in this product category with the marketing campaign of the SD7 device, in Q4 2021 in North America and is expected to launch its marketing campaign for this device in Europe in the second half of 2022. The SD7 is a next-generation device and Siyata's first mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) handset.
We believe our MCPTT SD7 device has the potential to disrupt the land mobile radio (LMR) industry because of its unique form factor, competitive price point and purpose-built functionality. This should be highly attractive to users in multiple industries where critical communications is paramount to their operations. Based on conversations we are having with current and prospective customers, distributors and carriers, we believe the SD7 will drive meaningful revenue growth beginning this third quarter.
In-Vehicle Devices | Many large-scale programs were delayed due to the pandemic, therefore creating pent-up demand for these disruptive solutions. Active engagements including many customer trials have resumed in 2022 which should translate into growth in this product line.
Cellular Boosters | The third product category we serve is the cellular signal booster market. Siyata's cellular booster kits address weak cellular signals for failsafe phone calls and text; fast, uninterrupted streaming; and total peace of mind for the end-user. Siyata's multiple lines of cellular boosters cater to several verticals including Enterprise, Commercial, First Responder and Consumers. Siyata's booster suite of products are used both inside buildings as well as inside vehicles. The main market we sell into is in North America, where the boosters are sold under the Uniden® brand name.
